How jdcpar5 started their logo design journey

Summary

We are looking for a professional, clean, simple, eye-catching logo for a small Web development firm based in the U.S.

Company name

Echo Web Development, LLC

What inspires you and how do you envision the design for your business?

Echo Web Development, LLC is a small Web development firm that works with small and mid-size businesses to develop or re-design their Web sites for content publishing, lead generation and e-commerce using open source solutions.

We need a logo for Web and print use.

One idea was to play off the "Echo" name either with an icon suggesting echoing sound, or playing off the programming command <?echo "whatever text"... This is NOT a must - feel free to go with your own ideas completely!

REVISION: Many of the designs have played off the "echoing" concept and the light blue / teal color of some early designs. We would LOVE to see some other design ideas that clearly illustrate the concepts spelled out in the brief. In particular, the use of the full name of the firm Echo Web Development together with a symbolic icon that's memorable, eye-catching and symbolizes the ideals of the firm. Hope that helps!

Wants

- Professional, simple, clean, fresh, eye-catching logo design.
- 1) color logo version on color background, 2) color logo version on white background 3) black & white logo version on white background, and 4) black & white logo version on black background 5) favicon.ico
- Vector (photoshop with layers) format AND png format for each
- We are a small firm, providing very personal service and ongoing support to our clients - we are not a high volume shop and would like the logo to convey this along with these ideals (if possible): professional, clean, modern, subtle, creative, memorable, eye-catching, sturdy and reliable.

Don't want

- No Purple, Yellow or Gold
- Not too many colors
- REVISION: PLEASE, no more teal blue designs? :-}
